Centre Interprofessionnel Technique d’Etudes de la Pollution Atmosphérique CITEPA – 7, Cité Paradis – PARIS (0) – Edith MARTIN – TFRN 28/09/ Drawing up summary sheets setting out actions on the potential to reduce ammonia emissions from agriculture in France in 2020 and 2030

2 CITEPA 1.The French Interprofessional Technical Centre for Studies on Air Pollution (CITEPA) is a non-profit making organization. 2.Reference Centre for atmospheric emissions nominated by the French Ministry of Environment (MEDDE) to produce National Emissions Inventories for the United Nations and the European Commission. 3.Our core business: emissions of air pollutants (NH 3, PM, GHG, VOCs, etc.) from all types of sources, abatement techniques and associated costs, policies, projections of future emissions.

3 CONTEXT 1.France is the highest contributor to ammonia emissions in Europe (20% of the EU NH 3 emissions in 2009 / Source EMEP). This is mainly due to the agricultural activities, and in particular livestock breeding. 2.Ammonia emissions have well-known impacts on human health and ecosystems. 3.International pressure is increasing to reduce ammonia emissions in France (such as the Gothenburg Protocol and the European NEC Directive (2001/81/EC)). 4.Ammonia is suspected to be involved in pollution peaks

4 OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED RESULTS The ADEME (French Environment and Energy Management Agency) tasked a consortium including National Agricultural Technical Institutes (IFIP (swine), ITAVI (poultry), IDELE (cattle) and INRA) and CITEPA to identify a set of actions (5-10) which are the most efficient (cost-efficiency, acceptability and consistency with other public policies), to reduce ammonia emissions in France over à 20-years horizon. These actions may be taken into account for defining future public policies. Duration of the study: 11 months, from September 2012 to August The impact of this set of actions on air quality and critical loads will be assessed by modeling (ADEME).
